Belgian design company Serax works with renowned designers and big names such as Ann Demeulemeester, Ottolenghi, Marni and Vincent Van Duysen to create furniture, tableware and deco objects for any space. But the company also gives opportunities to young designers. With this competition, Knack Weekend and Serax hope to discover a new name to add to the long list of designer collaborations.
